Apparently during and after WW2.....it was fairly common/popular for GIs to attach German Insignia to Luger and P-38 Holster Flaps......I remember about 40+ years ago finding a nice brown holster at gun show and it had an RLB Sunburst Eagle on the flap...(Home Defense)....however a friend of mine in our Military Club......bought a P-38..and Holster off a Vet.......on the flap was pinned an Original SS Cap Device....he got $250.00 just for the Cap Pin from a Collector.....then sold the Holster and P-38 separate.....so keep an eye out for the holsters with the German Pins on them......you just never know when you might get real lucky with one.........Hans Fischer
